Closed Starter: Going to Be Okay (James/Ciri/Bonuses)
He's through the woods as fast as his legs can carrying him, clearing obstacles including a small flame, coughing but not stopping, never stopping.
He has to find her.
There is no other option.
James coughs as he bursts through the treeline, seeing her, not even seeing the others, running straight up--
Hitting a barrier and backing off slightly, his hand coming to his head, shaking himself off quickly and recovering. "CIRI!"
Cora looks up, alarmed. What the--? She looks to her brothers. Cal looks surprised and a bit confused.
Meredith has her head down, arms curled over her head. She'd stopped crying a long while ago. She didn't have any tears left. She doesn't look up at the cry. She didn't have any hope left, either.
Brandon Breyer glances to his sister and her counterpart, raising an eyebrow. Was that... his uncle, at a younger age?
Maruca's eyes widen and she looks to Atlas. They'd finally made it out here, for all the good it had been. Wylie looks up, lighting up with hope. It had to be, didn't it?

This is why I am never truly optimistic...
My life has been going pretty well. Best in years. My life has usually been...bad on average. Not like the worst life ever, more anytime it goes too good, something super shitty happens. So I was a little wary. Especially cuz the past two days i have been getting BAD vibes. Like car accident or parent's death. Planning on taking a trip to help a friend through a surgery. Go to drop my 3 birds off at my parents the day before the trip.
...go to take their cage out, the ride must of loosened the cage cuz the top pops off, cage crashes to the ground, birds fly off to fuck knows where.
See, once a week, I wished I could set them free. But they're birds from a hot climate. They couldn't last. Today...was the first snow of the season. So even tho I'm soaking wet from whistling and calling it the snow/rain mix, realistically... They're dead within 4-7 hours, tops. I chased them down but my parents live in 3 acres of trees.... and only one really responds to my calls. And I never once saw them after they flew away. After 2 hours, the one didn't even chirp back. No idea if they're nearby or gone.
My dad was like why don't you demand them in their cage? I was like dad...I raised these birds to be happy, and do whatever the fuck they want 24/7. I never really tried to get them to obey me. Just... not hurt each other. These are hands down the most independent birds, but that was my undoing.
I should have put them in a separate box or something. It was the first time I ever took them out of my apartment since I got them 2 years ago. And they were freaking the fuck out. I should have listened. I don't care they're free, I care they're free for a free hours before they'll freeze to death. And that's my fault....remember kids: the only hope you should have is the calm embrace of death. Nothing else is guaranteed...never have hope otherwise. That way, at minimum, when it does work out, you're pleasantly surprised.
It's funny this is the quickest I ever got over something this bad. Cuz I was expecting it. When you have two days in a row of unexplained anxiety over something bad happening, when it does happen it's almost like oh there it is. Also the second it dropped, i knew they were dead. I had no hope of getting them back. Absolutely none. Not just because of where I lost them, which would send them into a bigger fright, but because I know my birds. They do what they want, I respect that, but it's going to get them killed. Also if they get even a little wet, they barely can fly. I don't think I'm going to want a new pet for a while. This...ok, maybe im not over of it, just accepting. Going to try one last time...

Closed Starter: Waking Up (Waltz fam/Associates)
Cal had dozed off at one point or another, but he'd woken up somehow looking more tired than he 'd started, sat at his sister's bedside. He pulls a hand through his hair.
Keefe was standing back against the wall, close to Hemlock, but not forcing himself on her space, silently watching Ash, still not entirely sure he knows what's happening.
And there's Ash. Cold and still, laying on her own bed. The injuries healed up, though there's still dried blood in some places on her.
Completely still.

❝...❞ - Yarrow/Cal ( @storystartsanew )
"Keeping secrets seems to go so well. Let's just hide the fact that I'm an entire werewolf. No one will notice." Cal accentuates it with a fake growl, smirking lightly. "What, no, I never accidentally rotted anything, neat right?"

Yarrow knocks on the door of Cal's room and leans up against the doorway. "Prefacing this with no one else is dead, but we need to talk." - ( @storystartsanew )
"Great way to start a conversation. Hi, how are you? I was pretty decent, all things considered, till you said that. What's going on?"
Cal's trying to stay calm and keep everything together. It's not going well. He's pretty sure he's on the verge of a mild mental breakdown at this point.

Closed Starter: About Time (Cal/Hemlock)
Ash was in class, probably having the time of her life. Valerian still seemed to be avoiding him, but doing as all right as usual. Y-- Loriss had work. Cal was only waiting on Hemlock to get home now and check in on her.
He had work soon, but it would be fine. He glances up when the door opens and sighs. “Took you long enough.”

Hemlock slips into the room, still trying to keep herself from crying. "I need your help." - ( @storystartsanew )
Cal looks at his sister and he's on his feet in a flash, rushing to her side. "What happened?" His voice is eerily calm for the obvious amount of concern on his face.

Double Open Starter: Information (Brandon/Cal)
“You.”
“Me,” Cal remarks dryly, looking up... his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. “...who the fuck are you?”
Brandon chuckles and smirks. “A friend of Cora’s. Or, at the very least, someone more than a little interested in getting to know her.”
“Hate to burst your bubble, but my sister’s gay,” Cal rolls his eyes and kneeling back down to the jewelry case in front of him. Not that anything they got was anything of any actual value, sometimes he thought the boss just liked having somewhere to highlight it and to have something else for staff to have to focus on on top of the rest of the job. Right now, he was reorganizing and stocking it.
Brandon wrinkles his nose. “Not like that. She’s a hybrid. That common in your family?”
“That’d be 1/3 of us,” Cal remarks with a shrug, growing defensive and barely glancing up a moment. “Something the matter with it?”
“Just trying to figure out where that came from. Genetic?”
The door opens. Saved by the customer. Cal straightens up and calls out, turning to the door. “Welcome to Lost and Found!”

Double Open Starter: Causing Problems (Cal/Keefe)
“Oh, it’s you.”
“I could say the same of you, Cal,” Keefe remarks dryly, rolling his eyes and sighing. “What do you want?”
“Now that I know you’re here? Trouble.” Cal smirks, pulling out the chair across from him and dropping into it. “Don’t act like you didn’t miss me, pretty boy.”
“Not an act.”
“I’m hurt,” Cal mock clasps his hand to his chest. “Truly wounded, Keefe. To think I came here to talk to an old friend, and you’re already breaking my heart.”
“You have one of those? Huh. Today I learned.” Keefe picks up his phone to text Axel for backup.
Cal reaches across and snatches Keefe’s phone out of his hand without missing a beat. “Ah-ah-ah. Surely we can conduct ourselves civilly without reinforcements.”
“Cal, what the fuck, give me back my phone!” Keefe launches up and reaches for it. Cal smirks and hops to his feet, holding it over his own head. Taller than Keefe, it keeps the other from getting his hands on it. “Cal!!! You rotten goddamn bastard!!”
“All true,” Cal nods with a shrug and a smirk.
Keefe scowls, clenching a fist.

"What happened to you? You look even more hideous than usual. Is the big bad Boggan having some problems?" - Acacia @ Cal
Cal growls under his breath.
He knows he looks like absolute hell. He hasn't slept in days, he's barely taken care of himself and it shows. He pulls a hand through his hair a bit and glances up at her, a sickening smile crossing his face. "Put the mirror down and we can talk all about 'em, sunshine."

Hemlock knocks on the door, Ash in tow. "Hey, open up! It's like a ghost town out here, and it's creepy. Even for me!" - (@storystartsanew )
Kirsten opens the door quickly and ushers the pair in. "Come on, come on," she peers behind them as she does and presses her fingers against the edge of the door, feeling along it, checking her own blessings on it as she does before closing it again.
Cal looks up at the girls and smirks, waving slightly. "Hi, strang--OOF!"
The second word punctuated by Ash tackling him in his seat and hugging him tightly. "Ow, Ash..."
"I'm so glad to see you!!"
